Savage Protector

from Shifted Silhouette by Vertigo Fox

lyrics

Twisting shadows on the ground cast
Splinters of dark off the canopy
Lost in a pocket of the vast
Empty, monsters only company
Wings spread, tail raised, gaining altitude
Where the only scent, of life unnamed
Under skies of brooding attitude
Animal silhouette, shifting, misplaced in airspace

Feel the gusts and flashes call to my DNA

Let the lick of flames
Lift the air, ignite the right way
Whisper the starfire’s name
And don’t lose my way, to get away

Chains of spots, ashes on fire-pelt
Wings buffeted even as they’re raised
Feel these broken sparks tingle through myself
Naked to the same power I'm drawing
And I never wanted to be burning bones and branches
But I need to grow their claws to play this game
Shed altitude, to the stink of these ashes
Back where I belong, into the flame

If you wanna survive it, you must become it
When you plummet, you still fly from it
Its personification, by implication
Its savage protector
